* CommonfoealtJ of Stassittjrasttk 



Secretary's Office, May 16, 1856. 
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives : 

In pursuance of a law passed by the Legislature of 
1855, a copy of which accompanies this communication, 
I have the honor to submit an abstract report of the 
statistical information collected by the Assessors of the 
several cities and towns in the Commonwealth, touch- 
ing the various branches of industrial pursuit in their 
respective precincts. 

While this report fails to do full justice to the produc- 
tive industry of the State, it is believed to be more com- 
prehensive and complete than either of its predecessors, 
for an obvious reason that will be likely to make the next 
superior to this. That entire accuracy, which is so desir- 
able, and which certainly lies within the scope of syste- 
matic and persistent effort, has not, I regret to say, been 
attained in the present instance. This may be, and is, I 
apprehend, in some measure, owing to the evident haste 
with which the law of 1855 was prepared. Many im- 
portant interests, such as printing and publishing, in all 
their various departments, engraving, building, coasting, 
the manufacture of clothing, and various other pursuits 
which contribute largely to the wealth and prosperity of 



xii secretary's letter. 

the State, were entirely overlooked, while there was a want 
of uniformity and completeness in the questions contem- 
plated and proposed with reference to several other 
branches. For instance, no inquiry was made as to the 
value of clocks, sewing-machines, daguerreotypes, hats 
and caps, cordage, vessels and boats, masts and spars, 
chocolate, camphene, straw bonnets and hats, and gold 
pens. Neither was there any inquiry as to the amount of 
capital invested in sugar refineries, in the manufacture of 
fire engines, boots and shoes, mathematical instruments, 
straw bonnets and hats, whips, and twelve other articles 
which figure somewhat largely in the tables. 

For the first and most important omission specified, a 
general inquiry as to all other branches than those specif- 
ically enumerated in the law, and in the blanks prepared 
in conformity with it, has been found to afford but an in- 
adequate remedy. With regard to printing, publishing 
and book-binding, a remedy was sought in circulars 
addressed directly to the proprietors of the different print- 
ing and book-binding establishments in the State, so far 
as they could be ascertained. But these proved scarcely 
more effective than the general inquiry. The whole 
amount returned was less than one and a half million of 
dollars, while the book-publishing business, in the city of 
Boston alone, is estimated at over four millions. Out of 
eighty-nine printing establishments in Boston, answers 
were received from only twenty-six. From but one estab- 
lishment in the county of Norfolk was there any response, 
and the proprietor of a newspaper establishment in 
Hampden County refused to answer. Full returns were 
received from three counties only — Barnstable, Dukes 
and Worcester. These returns, desultory and unsatisfac-

tory as they were, are embodied in the appropriate tables, 
of which they constitute the principal basis. The num- 
ber of newspapers and periodicals, however, has been 
made up from other sources. 

In the instances specified, where the value was omitted, 
the omission has been supplied by estimates obtained from 
persons whose familiarity with the particular branches 
forming the subject of inquiry, qualified them to judge 
in the matter. The omission of capital was one for which 
no remedy suggested itself. 

Another impediment to entire accuracy has been found 
in an apparent inability to comprehend the nature and 
scope of the questions proposed, or a culpable disregard 
of them, on the part of some of the Assessors. In 
numerous instances, these officers, instead of obtaining 
answers to such questions as were presented in the print- 
ed blanks prepared in conformity with the law, obtained 
answers to other and very different ones ; which answers, 
for that reason, were of little or no consequence. In 
some few cases it would almost seem that special pains 
were taken to evade the real questions, and procure 
answers to others that had not been proposed. On the 
whole, however, the Assessors acquitted themselves of 
their duties with intelligence, precision and fidelity. 

When the industrial statistics of the State were first 
collected, in 1837, they exhibited an annual production 
amounting to $86,282,616. In 1845, the amount was 
$124,749,457. It has now swelled to $295,820,681,— 
an increase of one hundred and thirty-eight per cent, 
since 1845, and of two hundred and forty-two, since 1837 ; 
and this, while the increase of population has been only 
thirty-four per cent, since 1845, and sixty-two in the 



xir secretary's letter. 

longer period named. And this result, so surprising in 
itself, falls, manifestly, below the reality. Leaving out of 
the account those branches which were unfortunately 
omitted in the specific inquiries, and making all possible 
allowance for the greater accuracy attained in the collec- 
tion of the information embodied in the accompanying 
pages, it is still apparent that the truth has not been 
reached. It is next to impossible for the tax-payer, when 
called upon by the Assessor to answer such questions 
as were propounded under the law, to divest his mind of 
the impression of an intimate connection between his 
answers and the assessment of his taxes. Hence, the 
general tendency to understate results, and an absolute 
refusal, in numerous instances, to answer at all. Had 
those branches which were overlooked been included in 
the returns, and honest and truthful answers obtained in 
all cases to the questions proposed, I am fully persuaded 
that instead of two hundred and ninety-five millions, we 
should have had an aggregate of at least three hundred 
and fifty millions, or considerable over one million of dol- 
lars per day for every working day in the year. As it is, 
the result exhibits a rapid and substantial growth in our 
industrial resources which is believed to be without a 
parallel in the history of the world. 

Respectfully submitted, 

FRANCIS DeWITT, 

Secretary of the Commonwealth,

following Beport from the Agent of the Salisbury Manufac- 
turing Company : — 

" The Works of the Salisbury Manufacturing Company are 
located both in Salisbury and Amesbury, (the dividing line of 
the towns being only a small river,) and so arranged that the 
machinery in both towns is connected in the operation. 

There aro in both towns 6 mills, with 50 sets of machinery, 
1 Printing Mill, together with Dye Houses, Dry Houses, Ma- 
chine Shops, Sorting House, and other buildings. 

Wool used, 502,306 lbs.; Flannel m'd., 476,768 yds. ; val.,

cap., $661,000 ; m. emp., 440 ; f. emp., 400. 

Owing to the long continued drought, the stream upon which 
the S. M. Co's. works are situated gave out, and the Company 
were obliged to suspend operations for something over three 
months last year, by which means the product was materially 
smaller than it would otherwise have been. The Company 
have, therefore, only given their business for the six months end- 
ing June 1st, 1855. This should be divided about equally 
between the two towns."

644 NOTES TO ABSTRACT. [1855. 



NOTES. 

(1.) Cotton.— Lancaster Quilts, in the manufacture of which, at Clinton, $125,000 
is invested, 219,493 pounds of cotton consumed, 1,600 spindles used, and 40 males and 
60 females employed, are not embraced in the table ; shoe-strings, manufactured by 
an establishment in Carver, to the amount of $20,000, are likewise omitted. In the 
returns from Amherst, Boylston, Brookfield, Coleraine, Lancaster, Northbridge, 
Northampton, Sunderland and Westfield, the amount of capital invested is omitted ; 
those from Boxford give neither capital, value of manufactured goods, nor the number 
of hands employed ; Concord returns embrace neither capital nor the number of 
hands, while, in numberless instances, either the quantity of raw material used, the 
class of goods manufactured, their value, or some other material statement is omitted. 

(2.) Bleaching and Coloring. — The value of goods bleached is omitted in the 
returns from South Dtinvers and Foxborough ; no capital is returned from Medway, 
the mill, the operations of which, for six months, are embraced in the table, having 
been burned down. 

(3.) Woollen. — Not included in the table are 15,094 embossed table covers, value, 
$25,000, manufactured in Salisbury ; 143 yards roller cloth, value, $350, and 97 yards of 
woollen shawls, value, $390, manufactured in Southbriclge ; and 275,000 pounds of wool 
and cotton, consumed in the manufacture of satinets in Stockbridge. Eleven towns 
fail to return the amount of capital invested ; five, the number of sets of machinery ; 
four, the quantity of wool consumed ; four, the value of the fabrics manufactured ; 
six, the number of hands employed, and from one or two the returns are deficient in 
all of these respects. 

(4.) Carpeting. — Not included in the table are four mills for the manufacture 
of painted carpeting, (two in Essex, one in Middlesex and one in Norfolk,) having 
an aggregate capital of $12,500, producing 88,000 yards, and employing 28 hands. 
From two mills in Middlesex there are no returns of the quantity manufactured, and 
from one no return of capital. One mill in Norfolk and two in Nantucket make rag 
carpets only. 

(5.) Worsted. — The number of establishments ^n Chelmsford and Framingham is
